MMVA08: Melanie C’s Message!
June 13th, 2008
[Editor's Note: Melanie C is preparing for a proper Toronto "love"fest - she'll be presenting an award at this Sunday's MMVAs, PLUS she's performing at Pride Toronto in two weeks. When we asked Melanie to guest blog for us, the super sweetheart took it one step further and HANDWROTE an entry for us, which we've scanned and typed up for you to enjoy, right here!]
I’m so excited to be back in Toronto, especially for such a great event. The MMVAs are going to be fantastic this year. I’m really looking forward to seeing Rihanna, Simple Plan and NKOTB perform! A lot of the artists are new to me so it’s going to be fun checking out some Canadian talent.
I’ve got to tell you about my tour - it was amazing! We started up in Montreal, then played Ottawa, Toronto, London, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver - PHEW! Me and my band had a wicked tour bus, so we really got to see your beautiful land. Highlights included Lake Superior, The Rockies and a BEAR! That’s mighty impressive to an English girl…
I had a lot of fun meeting my Canadian fans (and their big fishes!). I had two great supports - Adam Crossley, a very handsome singer-songwriter - his voice is sublime - and a very cool band called Spirits. I thought they were quite Killers-esque. If you haven’t heard their stuff I recommend you check them both out on MySpace!
I was in Switzerland last weekend performing at the opening of the Euro 2008 Championships. England didn’t make it through so we’re all disappointed about that - you know us Brits and our soccer!
I’ve seen some amazing gigs recently - I saw Sir Paul McCartney in Liverpool. Liverpool is my home city and we are the European capital of culture this year, so it was a really special event. He played loads of Beatles tunes, as you can imagine the crowd were going wild!
I saw Foo Fighters at Wembeley Stadium, too. Dave Grohl is god. They were incredible! Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin joined them on stage for the encore - it was such a privilege to be in the audience!
I’m back in Toronto to play at Pride on Saturday, June 28! We’re on the Wellesley Stage at 6pm - so if you haven’t seen me do my solo thing, come and check us out!
See you soon!
Love,
Melanie C
xx

How sweet that she handwrote such a detailed blog.
I’d reccomend everybody go check out Melanie’s solo shows - she really does rock and her voice is absolutely incredible live. If you’ve heard ‘Carolyna’ you’ll know how brilliant her work is.
